"We walk every morning here and this is just unbelievable," said Judy White. "It's a beautiful place to walk and now it's gone."

"Where's the beach?" asked Roy Zimmerman.

Many simply want their beach back.

"Why don't they get the sand from the south and bring it back here where it came from?" said one man. "Go back and get the sand where it's gone and put it right back here. It's only a mile down the beach."

But the next step hasn't been decided yet.

"It all depends on what the final plan is for restoration of the beaches," said Kelleher.

A1A may never be the same four lane roadway again, added Kelleher.

"We are looking at various alternatives of what we could do with A1A in this particular area. Whether we make it two lanes or three lanes," said Kelleher. "Maybe some more parking on the east side or wider walkway on the east side."

More concrete barriers will be placed placed along the beach in preparation of high tide during the full moon on Wednesday evening.

"I knew it was coming but this might have to do with global warming, too," said Zimmerman.
